Summer Residents

Step 1: 
The summer housing application opens on Feb. 1 and we begin offering contracts in early March. There is no deadline to apply for summer housing, and applications are accepted throughout the spring and summer.

Access the online application in the housing portal and choose the summer session that best fits your schedule. There is a non-refundable $50 application fee.

Step 2: 
When you receive a contract offer email, accept the contract and submit your $300 advance payment in the housing portal. Make sure you accept the contract and satisfy the advance payment by the contract offer expiration date listed in the email. The advance payment is applied to your summer housing bill.

Step 3:  
Once you have signed your contract, you will be able to provide information regarding your room preferences, roommate preferences and accommodation requests.

If you are a continuing student at The University of Texas at Austin, you can live on campus for the summer even if you are not taking summer classes. Students need to be enrolled in the spring or upcoming fall terms to qualify for summer housing.

If you have a medical or disability-related need that impacts where you will live, please indicate the type of accommodation you will require in the space provided on your housing application. You will need to submit a request and documentation to Disability and Access (D&A). They will review the documentation you provide and forward our office the recommendations regarding your housing accommodations. All disability information will be kept confidential within D&A. Your request will not be processed unless you submit the documentation to D&A. Learn more about the complete accommodation request process through D&A.

Prices vary based on the type of room you choose (shared or single space) and which session you have a contract for. See our residence hall rates page for meal plan details, comprehensive comprehensive rates and billing information.

Students will receive an email with their room assignment based on their preferences, which are made in housing application date order. Students who submit their application early are more likely to receive their top preferences. Single spaces are limited and offered based on availability and application date.

The room selection process is administered with rooms labeled by gender and provides available bed spaces based on your gender marker with the university. If you have questions or concerns regarding living options based on your gender marker not matching your gender identity, please contact our housing team so we can work with you on an individual basis.

As an enrolled student, you can change your gender marker by submitting a signed letter to the Registrar requesting the gender marker change. Include your EID, date of birth, full name and phone number in the request. The gender choices for this process are F and M. Questions regarding this process can be directed to the office of Student Academic Records located in the Main Tower (MAI 16) by email or calling 512-475-7644.

If your summer plans change, contact the housing office as soon as possible prior to the first day of the session to update your housing contract by emailing our housing team or calling 512-471-3136.

All rates include room, meal plan, internet service and laundry. See our residence hall rates page for comprehensive rates and billing information.

Dine In Dollars can be used at our restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores by handing your UT ID to the cashier, and the amount of the purchase will be deducted from your account. See our list of locations. You can add Dine in Dollars at any time.

Bevo Pay funds can be used at on- and off-campus merchants to purchase food, goods and services. You can add more Bevo Pay funds to your account from the Bevo Pay Online Services page. Unused Bevo Pay funds roll over each academic year and are refundable upon graduation.
